China News Service, October 29. In response to the Canadian Navy’s guided missile frigate crossing the Taiwan Strait, Wu Qian, Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, said on the 29th that this was an unfriendly expression and that China had already reported to Canada. Make solemn representations.
On the afternoon of the 29th, at a regular press conference held by the Ministry of National Defense, a reporter asked: According to media reports, the Canadian Defense Minister said this month that NATO needs to "monitor" China's activities because China's "performance in the South China Sea is worrying." According to Taiwan media reports, the Canadian navy guided missile frigate crossed the Taiwan Strait during China’s National Day.
Does the spokesperson have any comments on this?
Wu Qian said that Canada is thousands of miles away from the South China Sea.
As an extraterritorial country, Canada’s irresponsible remarks and groundless accusations against China are indeed worrying.
We also remind Canada to take a close look at itself before clamoring to monitor other countries.
"Regarding the Canadian warship's high-profile crossing of the Taiwan Strait and its provocative behavior during the crossing, we think this is an expression of unfriendliness. China has made solemn representations to the Canadian side. There is no doubt that this makes what is already difficult. The relationship between China and Canada and the two militaries has worsened. We ask Canada to adopt a responsible attitude and be cautious in words and actions so as not to endanger the common interests of China and Canada and regional peace and stability." Wu Qian said.
